Zach has that rare combination of being very aware of emerging trends without being fooled by them. This clarity gives him the ability to discern between empty calorie social fiction and deeper connections at the brand level. Pair that with a strong understanding of incentive modeling (a la Thaler) and you have a valuable addition to any (read: every) team with creative problem solving needs.
